Brewers open series in San Francisco tonight

May 4, 2012 By

The Milwaukee Brewers, after an off day on Thursday, open a 3-game weekend series at San Francisco against the Giants tonight. 

The Brewers have called up utility infielder Brooks Conrad from AAA Nashville to replace injured first baseman Mat Gamel who is out with a torn ACL.  Conrad was hitting .400 in the minors.

Travis Ishikawa is expected to get the first crack at replacing Gamel at first base. 

The Giants are also trying to deal without one of their top players.  Third-baseman Pablo Sandoval suffered a broken hand and is out 4 to 6 weeks.

The Brewers have lost 2-straight and 5 of their last 7 games.

Injuries mounting for the Brewers

May 3, 2012 By

The Milwaukee Brewers have already lost fifth starter Chris Narveson for the season with a torn rotator cuff and fraying in the labrum of his pitching shoulder.   But wait, there’s more.

All-star left fielder Ryan Braun was removed from last night’s 5-0 loss to the San Diego Padres with a right Achilles strain.  It’s not known how long Braun might be out.

The Brewers also learned yesterday that first baseman Mat Gamel could be out for the balance of the season.  Gamel reportedly needs surgery for a torn ACL in his right knee and is expected to miss a significant amount of the season.  Gamel hurt his knee in Tuesday’s loss.  General manager Doug Melvin stopped short of declaring Gamel out for the season.

Without Gamel, the Brewers have Travis Ishikawa to play first base.  Outfielder Corey Hart could get some looks there as well.
